The Sehyâpóvs

The Sehyâpóvs [pronounced Say-ah-povs] are a legendary species that have been rumoured to be wiped from existence millennia ago, supposedly because they were too aggressive and bloodthirsty. They have the gift of many tongues, and can learn to speak up to several entire languages fluently, and quite often in a very convincing native accent. A Sehyâpóv can be distinguished by their caramel-brown skin and small round eyes; and they generally have blonde or light-brown hair.

The Sehyâpóvs are thought to have been a species that evolved alongside the Mykrelins, but originated in Drubalca and then most of them migrated down to the Wilderness where they came in contact with the Mykrelin people. According to myth, the Bryniskans ancestors were hybrids between the Sehyâpóvs and the Mykrelin people, which is why most Bryniskans have sharp pointy teeth despite the fact that most people choose to be vegetarian or vegan.

Tribes
The Sehyâpóv species are split up into 11 tribes, the Welloxna [Well-lox-nah], Zainazaina [Zye-nah-zye-nah], Elvarsi [Ell-var-see], Vynnexon [Vine-nexon], Sinthoya [Synth-thoy-yah], Sycharnex [Sigh-char-nex], Kahmondrich [Kah-mon-drikk], Gethilta [Geth-thill-tah], Myxolzeba [Myx-xol-zeh-bah], Zlichenbrye [Zlich-en-brye], and the Yondrameytin [Yon-drah-may-tin] tribe. Each tribe has a different language from each other, yet there are some similarities for most common words. The Sehyâpóvs practice a ceremonial sacrifice at the beginning of each month where they will offer the soul to the gods in return for good fortune. After a war or a battle with another tribe, the tribe will eat the bodies of their enemies. The Sehyâpóvs love to fight and will frequently hold fights to the death in order to determine who the strongest warrior in the tribe is.
